Our europe trip

Whilst this was on our european tour, it was the best hotel we stayed in over 2 weeks, we were a little shocked when we went to the hotel sauna etc facilities as 95% of the people were naked lol. While it didnt stop us using anything it did make us feel a little uncomfortable as we were not aware of this. But we would still go back again first class hotel

Like your own home

The couple who runs Hotel Waldurh are lovely and make you feel like you're in your own home. From an honor-system beverage room to a wonderful spread of homemade items for breakfast, the place really is homey. In addition, they have a beautiful and relaxing sauna area and great prices on all kinds of different spa services. It's close to a ton of different tourist sites if you have a car. Or for those looking for a romantic getaway, once you get there, you really never have to leave the site. There are some food options on site and you can take a stroll though the countryside to various other places. Plus they sell a lot of spa items you can home with you.

Gorgeous view of Bavarian Alps

We were greeted by the owner, who spoke English very well. He gave us a tour of the hotel, along with the spa that we were able to use, free of charge. The hotel view was beautiful, extremely clean and spacious. The breakfast in the morning was light but a great way to start the day! The owner gave us great walking directions to a local restaurant with impeccable food! He also allowed us to use the steam rooms after hours! Very nice people and a great hotel! Highly recommended! Would be a great place to stay in winter as ski lodge as well!

Ein schönes Hotel in einer mega Umgebung. Das Personal (wobei Personal fast falsch klingt, weil man sich wie bei Freunden fühlt) ist unglaublich freundlich und lieb. Das Zimmer war sehr schön und sauber. Frühstück bot eine reiche Auswahl und auf Wunsch wurde einauch ein Spiegelei zubereitet. Abendessen sehr lecker und Preis/Leistung passt hier auf jeden Fall. Auch die Massage war super. Ich komme definitiv wieder. Das Hotel wird mit so viel Liebe und Herzblut geführt. Einfach toll.

Es war nicht das beste Wetter, aber das Hotel machte einen sehr guten Eindurck, Familienfreundlich würde ich mal sagen, Es gab eine Kaffeemaschine, welche Nutzbar war und auch eine kleinen Versorgungsladen, lief alles sehr familiär ab. Kann man eigentlich nur empfehlen. Wellness war nur die Sauna offen, dies lag aber sicherlich an der Zeit..

Gute ruhige Lage, schönes Wellness, umfangreiches Frühstücks Buffet, Einziger Negativpunkt - das Bett hat bei jeder Bewegung laut geknarrt, eine Inkontinenz Unterlage war direkt unterm Laken was ein massives Schwitzen verursachte - ein Topper drauf wäre hier hilfreich.

Hotel in landschaftlich schöner Lage

Die ruhige Lage in landschaftlich reizvoller Umgebung war für uns ein Kriterium das Hotel auszuwählen. Das Hotel hat einen großen Saunabereich, den wir jedoch aufgrund anderer Aktivitäten nicht genutzt haben. Die anderen Gäste waren vorwiegend ältere Personen. Das Hotel hat eine familäre Atmosphäre mit freundlichen Angestellten. Wir würden wieder in das Hotel kommen.

Horror Trip der mich wirklich zum weinen brachte

Es war eine reine Geldverschwendung, das Frühstücksbüffet war zu klein und wurde nicht aufgefüllt. Zudem fand ich am letzten Tag sogar ein seid 2 Jahren abgelaufenes actimel. Die Sauna Bereiche öffnen erst ab 16.00 vorher ist absolut keine Möglichkeit sich zu beschäftigen. Das Hotel wurde des eintrucks nach das ganze Wochenende von einer alten Dame und ihrer Enkeltochter geschmissen. Die dpa Behandlungen die nicht kurzfristig ausgefallen sind waren unprofessional und wurde früher abgebrochen "weil ja eig keine Verspannung vorlag". Die Sauna war nicht auf angegeben Temperatur und wenn man sagt es öffnet um 16.00 Heist das, das um 16.00 die Putzfrau drin ist. Ich war so enttäuscht das ich es eigentlich abbrechen wollte, aber dies wurde mir verwehrt ohne das ich 90% bezahlen hätte müssen. Im großen und ganzen verstehen wir die gute Bewertung nicht und von anderen Gästen haben wir gleiches gehört. (Und unter zahlreichen eispeisen versteh man ein hart gekochtes ei und ein trockenes Rührei mit einer Tomate)

Wir waren zwei Tage im Hotel Waldruh und können es mehr als weiterempfehlen! Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen, hatten ein großes und sauberes Zimmer. Auf Wunsch gab es auch bei später Ankunft leckeren Kaiserschmarren von Sven :) das Frühstück war ausreichend und Tipps zur Umgebung gab es auch genügend - wie hätten uns kein besseres Hotel wünschen können und kommen bestimmt wider und werden es unseren Freunden empfehlen.
